A sea that bites a chunk out of the land and dares it to argue.
means A large area of sea partly enclosed by land, or by extension any wide gap or deep divide between things, ideas, or people.
from From Old French 'golf,' borrowed from Italian 'golfo,' which traces back to the Late Greek 'kolphos' — a variant of older 'kolpos,' meaning the bosom, the fold of a garment, or a hollow curve. The sea-bay sense grew naturally from that idea of a sheltering curve, and the figurative 'unbridgeable gap' meaning followed: a chasm wide as the water itself.
